Cayman Islands freediving records

The national freediving records for the Cayman Islands are maintained by the Cayman Islands Freediving Association (CFA).

Freediving records can be set in any of 6 categories:

• Constant weight
• Static apnea
• Dynamic apnea
• Free immersion
• Variable weight
• No-limits

Record attempts are generally made during competitions or at special events. Variable weight and no-limits are not competitive disciplines and so attempts in these categories need to be specially arranged.
